Jacksonville police have charged a registered sex offender with hacking his roommate to death with “a large cutting instrument” in their Woodland Acres apartment Monday.

Stephen Webster Bentley, 33, was tracked down Thursday and booked into the Pasco County jail in the death of Joe-Nathan Williams, 59, of the Willow Lakes Apartments at 7623 Jasper Ave.

Williams was found dead in his home about 1:30 p.m. after a neighbor went to check on his well-being.

Sheriff's Office Chief of Investigations Adam Brown said he had several cuts possibly from a hatchet, machete or large knife.

Brown said neighbors saw Bentley leaving the area with blood on his hands. No motive for the killing was given.

Bentley was a registered sex offender whose listed address was the 9900 block of Regency Square Blvd. He was convicted in 2000 of possession of child pornography in Hillsborough County and twice for failing sex-offender notification or registration requirements in 2003 and 2011, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
